Messy, clean, messy, clean = NORMAL

The Frugal Girl

In a recent post, I shared a picture of my messy kitchen. I’ve done this quite a few times before. See here: And also here: In the comments on that recent post, many of you said, “Oh, thank you for being vulnerable and keeping it real.” But the funny thing is…I didn’t even feel vulnerable sharing my messy kitchen photos!

Why You Need a Vacation

Shereen Travels Cheap

Travel is important for a lot of people. It gives you a chance to reset, learn, get out of your comfort zone (sometimes), feel refreshed and relaxed, and can help you reconnect with yourself and others. I don't know who I am if I'm not always planning a trip. I don't understand people who don't like or want to travel, because I never stop adding to my destination list.

The Frugal Girl

This week, I’m thankful: that I’m sure about my educational choice A lot of things in my life feel rather up in the air right now, but I doooo feel sure that nursing school is where I’m supposed to be. I love the medical material, and the personal side of it also speaks to my soul. Here’s a quote from one of my textbooks: One tip for practice is to cultivate the habit of reflecting on your clinical encounters each day.

This has come up a few times recently in the comments, sooo, here you go!

Two abandoned-house nightstand rehabs

The Frugal Girl

When my dad and I picked up a load of furniture from the abandoned house, we grabbed two matching nightstands (not pictured below!) Recognize the base of my dining table? I didn’t really have a specific plan for the nightstands, but you know…a wonderfully freeing thing about starting over with very few possessions is that you can take on a, “Sure, I’ll take it!

Five Frugal Things | stupid yellow jackets

Still, it is not a job that I love, and every time I mow, I consider just hiring someone to do it for me. I may crack at some point this semester and hire someone to do my leaf removal this fall.

A storage chest for Sonia

The Frugal Girl

Many years ago, I got a little wooden chest from freecycle. I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. You can see some “after” pictures of it here, in this tour of Lisey’s room at the other house. Look at the foot of the bed and you’ll see it.

I was busy yesterday getting a whole big post done, showing you what I did with these two nightstands. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t paint either of them white. Are you proud??)

WIS, WWA | all Safeway

The Frugal Girl

What I Spent So I went to pull together my grocery spending for the week and I realized that it’s all quick trips to Safeway. This is better than endless nights of eating out, but definitely not as frugal as an organized trip to Aldi. I spent $63 at Safeway, spread out between an embarrassing number of trips. And I spent $20 at Chick Fil A for our final Pride and Prejudice viewing night. ?

Can you freeze food in glass jars?

The Frugal Girl

I get this question so often, I wanted to put the answer in its own post. In short: Yes! You can freeze food in glass jars! I have done it somewhere around 8935 times, and it’s been just fine unless I’ve dropped the glass jar. Which is a me problem, not a freezing-food-in-glass-jars problem. I know we are all rather terrified of causing glass breakage…that’s a messy problem, and it also results in food waste because WHO is going to try to eat food that might have glass sh

Q&A | frugal mental health, “why did you get a cat”?, and phones for kids

A reader wrote me an email telling me about some family troubles, including the story of her son leaving an abusive marriage, with his little daughter in tow. At the end of her email, she said, I wonder if you could address the importance of taking care of one’s mental health especially during really hard times, specifically in frugal ways.
